CVS murder witness heard gunshots, saw man walk away By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer

Joshua Lloyd was sitting on bench outside the Ruby Tuesday’s restaurant in Warrenton at about 10:15 p.m. on July 26, 2017, when he heard what he thought sounded like “fireworks.” When Lloyd stood up and looked in the direction the sound came from, he became the only known eyewitness to the shooting death of Rex Mac Olsen. Lloyd testified in Fauquier County Circuit Court Monday, on the first day of the trial of Bernard Duse, who is charged with murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony for Ol-

sen’s death. Duse pleaded not guilty to both charges, Lloyd testified that he saw a man standing over another man, who was on the ground, near the dumpster behind the CVS Pharmacy at 510 Blackwell Road in Warrenton. “I thought I heard fireworks… then I saw like sparks or something,” Lloyd said. He said he saw the man who had been standing move the other man’s body to the side and then calmly walk away. Lloyd then walked by rear of the CVS, saw a person lying on the ground and bleeding and went into the CVS and asked the employees there to call 911.

Prosecutors allege that Duse, 77, who was the operations manager at the CVS, shot and killed Olsen, 66, the store manager. “The murder was the culmination of a year and a half of bitter litigation,” Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Fisher told jurors in his opening statement Monday. The litigation was related to complaints of discrimination and retaliation that Duse had filed against CVS. According to prosecutors and court records, Olsen had testified unfavorably against Duse in those proceedings.

New turf farm sparks complaints about construction fill County mulls new rules for using non-agricultural debris

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Some Midland property owners say they are tired of the noise, dust and water runoff they’ve lived with for more than year because of a 50-acre site off Brent Town Road that’s being prepared for a new turf farm. In Fauquier County, turf farming is allowed by-right on land zoned for agricultural uses. The neighbors are mostly upset, however, with activity going on to prepare the site, including the use of non-agricultural fill, which has been trucked to the area to build an access road for the new farm.

CVS murder witness heard gunshots, saw man walk away MURDER from page 1 “This defendant took his own brand of retaliation on 26 of July, 2017, when he assassinated Mr. Rex Olsen,” Fisher said. Fisher also told jurors they will hear testimony and see evidence of cell-phone records and DNA evidence that tie Duse to the crime. But defense attorney John Carroll told jurors the evidence will not support prosecutors’ version of events. “This was a rush to judgment from the beginning,” Carroll said. For one thing, Carroll told jurors, while Lloyd eventually said he did not know the race of the

shooter, he first told police the gunman was “a white guy.” Duse is African-American. “The only eyewitness said it was a white guy who shot Mr. Olsen,” Carroll said. On the witness stand, Lloyd said did not know the race of the shooter, but said he was tan and wore a tan jacket and tan cap. Another witness who testified Monday, Brian McClain, said he was waiting in his vehicle in the CVS Pharmacy drive-thru around the time of the shooting. “I heard a very loud noise, several of them, that kind of caught my attention,” he said. “To me it sounded like throwing wooden pallets on the ground.”

McClain said he didn’t give much thought to the sound at the time, but the next day he heard about the shooting on social media and realized that what he heard must have been gunfire. He could not see the dumpster area at the time and saw nothing suspicious while he was at the pharmacy, he said. “I felt kind of bad that I reacted so nonchalantly,” he said. “…you just don’t think of something of that nature happening in town.” Duse’s trial is scheduled to run through Friday. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison for murder and three years in prison for use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Reach Amanda Heincer at aheincer@fauquier. com

New turf farm sparks complaints about construction fill TURF FARM from page 1 Meanwhile, Thomas Schottler, who owns the turf farm property, denies that construction debris or asphalt are part of the fill material being used to prepare the site and insists the construction project is adhering to all state and county regulations. “I’m doing everything by the rules,” said Schottler, who owns four other turf farms under the name NOVA Turf Farm The Fauquier County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors will soon consider changes to local zoning rules that would require farmland owners to receive special-use permits to use nonagricultural excavation material, waste and debris as fill if it’s not generated on the farm. The planning commission deferred action July 19 to allow county staff to work on the amendment’s language. The amendment will be ready for commission action at its Aug. 16 meeting, according to Rob Walton, the county’s chief of zoning and development services. Next, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing and take a final vote. Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar

Dwane Long Run), who represents the Midland area, said the text amendment regarding non-agricultural fill is the only thing the county can do to try to address the situation. “Obviously, we can’t supersede state law and regulations,” he said.

Neighbors complain of runoff, debris

Such changes can’t come soon enough for complaining neighbors of the new turf farm, who include Dwane Long, who lives on Aquia Road, and Steve and Jennifer Rainwater, who live on Brent Town Road. The new access road to the turf farm uses an easement that passes

close to the Rainwaters’ home. Jennifer Rainwater said the road has created runoff and flooding problems, making the water their small pond unfit as a source of drinking water for their two rescue draft horses. “Why did he have to ruin an acre and a half of my land?” she asked in a recent interview. “What used to be 2 acres of pasture is now a half acre.” She said the silt fences put up by the fill hauler are “a joke.” She and her husband have an attorney. “This is a landfill, not a terraced sod farm,” she added. From their second-floor windows, the Rainwaters say they are able to see over mound of fill more than 20 feet high. “A civil suit is coming,” Jennifer Rainwater said. Long has gone so far as to post deer cameras along the property line to record the dump-truck activity. He said he’s followed trucks from a construction site on Minnieville Road in Prince William County coming to unload at the turf farm site. Long is a business partner of Pat Hupp, who owns the property on Aquia Road abutting one side one side of the turf farm site.

visited the site three times and that “all is in compliance.” “I’ve been doing everything legally and morally. There are one or two people who are up in arms. … I’m being treated as though I’m the anti-Christ,” Schottler said. R.C. Hawkins, of R.C. Construction Co., was hired by Schottler to do the site work. Hawkins challenged Long’s contention that 300 or more truckloads have been delivered to the site in a single day. At most, the traffic has amounted to 176 trips per day, he said. Hawkins said he hopes to have the front half of the front field planted for sod by mid-September and the back half by next April or May. Added Schottler: “I’m building a state-of-the-art turf farm.” What’s now a dirt field will be “beautiful sod” in time. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Casanova monopole providing cell, internet service By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A towering achievement of sorts was celebrated last week with a formal “cord-cutting” ceremony next to a 140-foot monopole off Casanova Road that’s bringing cellular and internet service to an area of Fauquier County in need of it. The tower has Verizon providing cell service and Omnipoint providing broadband internet. There’s room for three more service providers and inquiries have been made to T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T to gauge their interest, said Barb Pivec, a partner in Calvert Crossland, which located the site for the pole in a farm field in Casanova and got the necessary approvals to erect it there. The tower will serve a 6-mile area. “This was developed for people in rural areas. We hope to bring quality service to Fauquier County,” said Timothy Paul, Omnipoint’s president. Charles Thomas, Omnipoint’s vice president, noted the tower is in a heavily wooded area and uses nonline-of-sight systems that can transmit through obstacles such as leaf cover. “It’s a radio signal, so it will bounce and be greater in some areas and less in others,” he explained in an email. “…We get some pretty good tree penetration so putting this up in the summer, when the trees are full, is a great test. Performance will improve in the fall and the winter months.” Each tower deployed on company’s macro system can serve up to 200 subscribers, but Thomas said the company generally does not reach full capacity to keep performance levels high for customers. “Once fully deployed on several towers around the county, we can look at pockets the macro systems miss and deploy micro cells, which target smaller groups of homes (communities). Utilizing both of these methods will allow us to reach a high number of the population throughout the county,” he said. Calvert Crossland is working to

Fauquier County partnered with Calvert Crossland to place towers in six locations and received a $90,000 grant from the PATH Foundation that will help pay for three of them. Fauquier County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Executive Director Devon Dennis Settle said the new tower is hoped to improve the organization’s efficiency. The SPCA is on Rogues Road in Casanova. “Everything we do, we rely on our ability to do it online,” she said. “This is going to make a difference,

so we can be more efficient. We couldn’t be happier.” Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run) lives 4 miles away from the monopole and said he’s already seen a “drastic change” for the better in his service with speeds of 33 megabytes download and 5 megabytes upload. “I’m thankful we have this alternative. This a viable last-mile service,” he said. Gerhardt headed a broadband advisory committee that studied the need and possible solutions to deliver cell and internet service to unserved and underserved areas of the county.

It’s official: Brentmoor sale finalized

Former home of Col. John Singleton Mosby sold to Warrenton family By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

The sale of the historic Brentmoor, also known as the John Mosby House, was finalized Friday, bringing an end to a long dispute over whether the historic home should have been given another shot at as a museum and cultural meeting center. As expected, Warrenton residents Kirk and Rebecca Goolsby bought the 157-year-old house from the Town of Warrenton for $425,000, the price the Warrenton Town Council agreed to in May. Right before the sale closed, Kirk Goolsby said the family was “very excited” and hoped to move in early next year.

The Town of Warrenton had owned the home since 1999, when it purchased it for $460,000 and later spent about $100,000 in town funds as well as $800,000 in grant money and donations to return it to the way it looked in 1861. Confederate Col. John Singleton Mosby, also known by his nickname, “Grey Ghost,” lived in the house from 1875 to 1877. The home was open for about one year, from 2013 to 2014, as the John S. Mosby Museum, but it closed after an initial operating grant of about $138,000 ran out. The council voted last fall to place the house on the market to escape ongoing upkeep costs and place the property back on the tax rolls. Some on the council said they approved of the idea of re-

‘Bigfoot’ steps into 5th District race By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The race for the 5th District seat in Congress took a turn toward the weird Monday with the revelation that Republican candidate Denver Riggleman co-wrote a book in 2006 about the “Bigfoot” creature, prompting Democratic opponent Leslie Cockburn to assert that Riggleman is a “devotee of Bigfoot erotica.” Cockburn tweeted the accusation and posted pictures from Riggleman’s now private Instagram account showing nude drawings of Bigfoot with a photo of Riggleman’s face covering Bigfoot’s head. The photo included a black censure bar over the mythical creature’s groin. Bigfoot is a supposed hairy, apelike being who lives in the wilderness and leaves large footprints. In a tweet of his own in response, Riggleman said, “Yes-I wrote a book about Bigfoot believers. Bigfoot pics by military bubbas are meant to be funny. I didn’t know what Bigfoot Erotica was until @LeslieCockburn mentioned it.” An Associated Press report said the pictures were meant as satire, mock cover art for a book Riggleman wrote titled, “The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him.” “I’m not gonna change the title,” Riggleman told the Daily Beast website. “Absolutely not. It’s funny, I love it.” He told the Daily Beast that he is merely interested in the belief systems surrounding the mythical beast, and that he will continue working on his next Bigfoot installment. “For me, the book really is an an-

thropological study on all the people who believe in Bigfoot and the different Bigfoot belief systems out there. That’s it,” Riggleman said, according to the Daily Beast. “This is a real subculture in the United States and it’s hundreds of thousands of people that believe.” Riggleman owns Silverback Distillery in Nelson County. He won the Republican nomination during a special meeting of the 5th District Republican Committee in June to select a candidate to replace incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Garrett, who dropped his re-election bid after disclosing his alcoholism. The 5th District includes most of Fauquier County and stretches to the North Carolina state line. Riggleman pushed back against Cockburn in his tweet saying, “Weird things happening in her campaign-Let’s stick to issues and Leslie’s book. #bigfoot#DangerousLiaison.” Riggleman was referring to a book titled “Dangerous Liaison: The Inside Story of the U.S.-Israel Covert Relationship,” co-written in 1991 by Cockburn with her husband, Andrew Cockburn. The authors’ criticism of Israel prompted the Republican Party of Virginia’s executive director to call her “an anti-Semite.” Leslie Cockburn has said that it is a book about policy and not a reflection of any personal animus toward Jews.

“For me, the book really is an anthropological study on all the people who believe in Bigfoot and the different Bigfoot belief systems out there. That’s it. This is a real subculture in the United States and it’s hundreds of thousands of people that believe.” DENVER RIGGLEMAN, Republican nominee for the 5th Congressional District, as quoted by the Daily Beast

Right, Leslie Cockburn, the Democratic candidate in the 5th District congressional race, tweeted a post from her opponent Denver Riggleman’s now-private Instagram account.

Reports: U.S. Rep. Tom Garrett under House ethics investigation By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

U.S. Rep. Tom Garrett is the target of two ethics investigations examining his use of staff for personal tasks and whether his alcoholism impacted his work in Congress, according to news reports. The investigations, reported by Politico and the Washington Post, were acknowledged by Garrett in statements released to news organizations July 24. Garrett, R-5thDistrict, continues to tell news organizations he did nothing wrong. “Congressman Garrett has broken no laws and comported himself in an ethical manner,” Garrett’s office said in a statement. “Politico’s original story was populated with half-truths and whole lies.” In May, Politico reported Garrett used his aides for personal tasks ranging from retrieving clothes from his apartment, cleaning up after his dog and providing rides for his daughters. U.S. House of Representatives’ ethics rules forbid lawmakers from using taxpayer-paid congressional staff members for such personal tasks. In a June interview with the Fauquier Times, Garrett, 46, denied asking his staff to do anything out of bounds and called the reports “antithetical to the truth.” The House Ethics Committee generally does

Rep. Tom Garrett not publicly comment on its investigations. According to the Washington Post, former staff members of Garrett’s received letters from the committee inquiring as to whether Garrett “violated House rules or laws by asking taxpayer-funded employees to perform personal tasks and whether his drinking or use of other substances interfered with his official duties.” Garrett’s office has not responded to requests for comment on the reports. The freshman Republican dropped his re-elec-

tion bid May 28, days after the Politico first reported complaints from unnamed staff members. The 5th District includes most of Fauquier County and stretches to the North Carolina state line. Garrett has said he’s leaving Congress not because of the controversy regarding his staff, but, rather, to deal with his long-standing addiction to alcohol. In an interview with the Fauquier Times, Garrett said he’s been asked if his drinking had any impact on his work in Congress. “I thought about it and said ‘never, or always,’” he said. “What I mean is that is if you drink too much it affects you even when you›re not drinking too much,” he said. Garrett said he never drank on the floor of the House of Representatives or during working hours. Garrett told the Times he’s been sober since making his May announcement and is attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Garrett is a former Virginia state senator and commonwealth’s attorney. He will be replaced in January by either Republican Denver Riggleman, who owns a distillery outside Charlottesville, or Democrat Leslie Cockburn, a former “60 Minutes” and “Frontline” journalist who lives in Rappahannock County.

Fauquier schools hire first three school security officers By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Three of the 12 new school security officers to be assigned to Fauquier County Public Schools began their jobs July 16, according to a school division press release. Vetted, hired and trained by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, the new hires mark the official start of the new School Security Officer program in the county, an adjunct to the School Resource Officer program, which has placed armed law-enforcement officers in all three county high schools and five middle schools “since 1999 at least,” according to Fauquier school division spokeswoman Tara Helkowski. The SSO program was established in a state law that passed last year. “This whole process is new across the state,” said sheriff’s office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman. “The law only recently came into effect that allows armed SSOs in schools.” An SSO must be a retired or former law-enforcement officer who left their department in good standing, he added. “There are already SROs in each of the three high schools and the five middle schools,” said Hartman. “Plans now are to supplement the high school SROs with an SSO, and then put SSOs in each of the elementary schools. “The idea is to eventually put SROs in every school,” he added.

Franz Mahler

Sal Torelli

Jeffrey Crane

In fact, for safety reasons, Helkowski explained, the two elementary schools furthest from the sheriff’s office Warrenton headquarters — Claude Thompson in Rectortown and Mary Walter in the Bealeton area, along with Southeastern Alternative School, in Midland — will be assigned SROs rather than SSOs. The press release delineates the roles specific to each position. SROs are local law-enforcement officers assigned to a school. SSOs are school division employees who are responsible for enforcing school policy and are able to use force only as prescribed by local school policy. SROs are local law-enforcement officers, “responsible for enforcing

state law. He or she is able to search, detain and arrest,” the press release said. “Use of force is permissible as guided by department policy.” The three newly named SSOs include Franz Mahler, who will have a lead role in assisting both the sheriff’s office and Fauquier County schools in setting up the new program. Mahler was a trooper with the Virginia State Police from 1989 through 2018. Sal Torelli, also a designated program lead, was a part-time Warrenton police officer from 1982 to 1983; a Prince William County police officer from 1985 to 1990; and a Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputy from 1990 to 2017.

Jeffrey Crane was a Virginia State Police trooper from 1977 to 1985; a Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputy full-time from 1985 to 2008 and part-time from 2012 to 2018. Hartman said more candidates are still being interviewed. “SROs and SSOs in every school will make these campuses safer than they have ever been before,” he added. Helkowski said that the school board will decide where each new officer will be placed. Each will have a designated office at his or her assigned school.

‘Unbelted’ traffic fatalities double among young State officials remind drivers to buckle up Staff Reports The number of people ages 15 to 20 who died as a result of a motor vehicle crash during which they were not wearing a seatbelt doubled from Jan. 1 through June 30, compared to the same time period last year. Eighteen unrestrained fatalities have been recorded this year, compared to nine from January to June 2017 and 10 in 2016, according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. “We must find a way to reverse this startling trend,” said Secretary of Transportation Shannon Valentine. “Safety is our highest priority. Simply by wearing a seatbelt, you can reduce

the risk of dying in a vehicle crash by 45 percent.” The localities in which the 18 unrestrained fatalities for ages 15 to 20 occurred include Prince William and Fauquier counties, both of which had one traffic fatality involving people not wearing seatbelts. The others were in Amherst, King William, Appomattox, Mecklenburg, Campbell, Shenandoah, Frederick, Goochland, Washington and Henry counties and Richmond City, all of which had one fatality. Bedford and Southampton counties had two fatalities. Virginia also recorded a 34-percent increase in the number of people age 21 to 35 who died not wearing seatbelts in crashes. From January to June 2017, 41 unrestrained fatalities were recorded; in 2018, 55 were recorded. The total number of unbelted fatali-

A total of 843 people died last year as a result of crashes, including motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians. “Think about it this way. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body is moving at the same speed. When the vehicle stops, you need to stop, too. The only way to ensure that happens is by being buckled into the vehicle,” said Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb. “Otherwise, your body’s unbelted momentum can result in being tossed around inside or even ejected from the vehicle,” he said. “That’s how people get killed and injured in crashes.”

CAN WE CHOOSE A TIME TO DIE? Many wonder whether a person could either consciously or subconsciously choose a particular time to die. According to anecdotal reports, some individuals have declared they only intended to live long enough to be alive for a certain event (such as the marriage of a child) before dying, and they did just that. One documented case in a respected medical journal told of a 40-year-old woman with chest pains, who told her nurses and clergyman that she intended to die exactly one week later, on the second anniversary of her mother’s death. She did. And one study showed that elderly ChineseAmerican women postpone death until after the Harvest Moon Festival. Perhaps we have more control over our deaths than we might think. Honoring the life of your loved one means you value the relationship you shared. We look forward to helping you decide how to celebrate that bond, and honor the unique person you’ve lost.

#notfakenews

It’s become fashionable as of late to knock newspapers. No doubt, many factors are working against the industry. New tariffs on paper are driving up costs. Changing economics have challenged the business model. Social media has changed the way we digest the news. Newsrooms are getting smaller, and more is being asked of those who remain. But most chillingly, it has become rhetorical gold for a breed of politician to beat the #fakenews drum, some even going to the extreme of calling the press “the enemy of the people.” Without a doubt, it is the duty of a newspaper to examine delicate topics. Newspapers fill an important purpose: Serving the public’s need to know. It is unfortunate that the need to know and the want to know are not the same thing, as many of the political OUR VIEW and social issues newsrooms have to tackle will not please everyone. Particularly in today’s highly polarized political climate. But it is one thing to take issue with a particular news organization’s reporting on a subject, and to complain about that reporting. It is another to use that to whitewash an entire industry or profession. Fanning the flames of animosity against journalists is dangerous, whether it comes from the top or locally, and can potentially put lives at risk. Telling the story of the community isn’t always about telling good news. But neither is it just reporting on sensitive political issues. As an example, here are a few of the topics the Fauquier Times covered just in July: • Athletes of the year from local high schools • The history of Fauquier County’s “repository of knowledge” — the library • Applicants and new hires for the school district’s new security positions • A local golfer competing in the first U.S. Women’s Senior Open • A local pet shop that caters to birds • The Fauquier County Youth Orchestra • A candlelight vigil for a 19-year-old tragically killed in a car accident • A look at Warrenton’s only Indian restaurant • An exploration of the latest trend in e-cigarettes: juuling • County rules regarding tiny homes • How wet weather challenged local vineyards Celebratory, tragic, infuriating, informative, and definitely not fake news. Journalism isn’t just black and white, there are many shades of gray in between. All are aspects of the story of this community, and all were brought to light by journalists. Enemies of the people? No. Colleagues and neighbors.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES In preparation for marching in the February 1960 Washington’s Birthday parade in Alexandria, Mrs. Helen Campbell brightens the lips of Joy Willis, a member of the Warrenton Rebelettes, while others watch.

Middleton of The Plains was awarded his second lieutenant’s bars at the Coast Artillery Corps, and a few days before, Nimrod C. Olinger of Marshall won his second lieutenancy in the Marine Corps Reserve. With voting heavier than had been expected, Charles G. Stone was nominated for commonwealth’s attorney for Fauquier County, and W. S. Woolf nominated for sheriff, according to unofficial results compiled by the Democrat after Tuesday’s Democratic primary election. The induction of fathers from Fauquier may begin on Oct. 1, the local Selective Service Board announced Tuesday, following receipt of instructions from state headquarters. The board will begin immediately the reclassification of all men in 3-A. 50 Years Ago August 8, 1968 Warrenton is giving Haight-Asbury and Greenwich Village a run for it now that brothers Truman and Tim Keesey have opened their shop at 22 Lee Street. The two moved here with their parents a month ago and have turned the garage to the rear of the Culpeper Street home of the late Thomas E. Frank into an outlet for lambskin products.

OPINION

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | August 1, 2018

Gerrymandering contributes to low voter turnout Low voter turnout for primaries, as well as for general elections, [Editorial: ‘My name is Virginia, and I have a voter turnout problem’, June 20, 2018] could also be a symptom of voters feeling disenfranchised. Virginia is among the most gerrymandered states in the country. Voting districts are drawn to protect the party and the incumbent, not to reflect the will of the people. When district lines were drawn in 2011, Democratic and Republican legislators arrived at a “gentleman’s agreement” over who carved up which piece of the state. If legislators are assured of their seat, they don’t need to listen to their constituents. That can lead to voter apathy and is a loss for democracy. Virginia needs a constitutional amendment regarding redistricting to create an independent redistricting commission; bring transparency to the process; and set rules regarding compactness, contiguity and communities of interest. It is high time to bring fair redistricting to Virginia so that every vote counts. Jackie Rivas Arlington

Fauquier and Coach Ott rock! My wife, Liz, and I moved back from Charlottesville to Warrenton in 2009 to start our pasture-based meat and egg farm, Whiffletree Farm. Part of my dream here at Whiffletree was just being back in my hometown of Warrenton. Don’t get me started on Wendell Berry and how I think it is so good to live where your roots are deepest. I know not everyone can live where they grew up for lots of different good reasons, and therefore, even more so, I consider myself fortunate to be able to. In thinking about moving back, I desired to be where I had history, connections and affections with people and places. I figured (ala Wendell Berry), the good life is one dense with

loves. At every turn, there is a place and a person that one cares for, and you can only care well for people and places you know. And, you can only be loved well by people who know you. Hence Warrenton! Well, as yet another small confirmation of this decision, this morning I took my son out for breakfast for his 7th birthday. We were eating at Frost Diner, where I had hung out late at night in high school, where my grandfather took my dad for meals when my dad was a boy. Next to our booth, at the counter, was Coach Mark Ott, who I had known as a teacher and coach when I was a student at Fauquier High School. We said hi and I told him how I had seen in the Fauquier Times that he was the new assistant athletic director, and congratula-

tions. My son and I continued our meal and conversation. Later Coach Ott said goodbye and left. A little bit later, I go to leave and pay, but the waiter says Coach Ott paid for our meal and he had said to only let us know that after he had left! What a guy! So kind of him! Coach Ott didn’t want to be congratulated for his kindness, but I took the liberty to share this nonetheless as it was such an unexpected and happy surprise and an inspiration to me to look for more opportunities to be generous and kind to others! Hopefully to you too! Go Coach Ott and Fauquier!

Will the Republican Party of Virginia and Virginia Republican Congressional candidates continue to support Trump’s capitulation to Russia, or will they live up to their claim of being “patriots?” Immediately after Donald Trump’s capitulation to Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Virginia Republican U.S. Senate nominee Corey Stewart praised Trump’s surrender and blasted U.S. law enforcement’s conclusion that

Russia interfered in the 2016 election as an “unproven allegation.” As if that’s not enough, proTrump Republican members of congress Barbara Comstock, Dave Bratt, Scott Taylor and Rob Wittman refuse to condemn Trump’s treason and have offered no response to Stewart. For as long as I can remember — and I’m 73 — the GOP has proclaimed itself to be the party of patriotism and patriots. It’s now

past time for the RPV and Republican officials to put on their big boy pants and stand up to Trump and Stewart, or, if they aren’t willing to do so, they need to resign. And for those Republicans who still believe in Trump, Amazon. com is selling “Trump-Putin 2020” T-shirts and bumper stickers — stock up now.

Carol (Magee) Dubinsky Carol (Magee) Dubinsky was carried home to heaven by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, July 18, at her home in Marshall, VA. She was surrounded by family and dearly held in the thoughts and prayers of her family and friends at the time of her passing. Carol was born in Oceanside, Long Island, to Morton and Virginia Magee. The oldest of three daughters, most of her childhood years were spent in upstate NY. She graduated from Holland Patent Central School, and while living in Remsen, met and married her husband, Ron. They relocated to Virginia soon after and that became their permanent residence. Gifted with a keen business sense, Carol pursued a business degree from Strayer University. She worked for a prestigious law firm in Virginia and later went to work in the banking industry in Virginia, specializing in real estate and commercial loans. Desiring to follow her dream of having her own business, she started her own company, MarC Trust Mortgage in 2007, operating offices in Sterling, Manassas, and Warrenton, Virginia. Being community minded, Carol belonged to various organizations during her career, including the Loudoun County Social Services Advisory Board, the Chamber of Commerce for both Fauquier and Greater Warrenton, and the Haymarket-Gainesville Business Association. Carol will be remembered for having the gifts of wisdom, attention to detail, and thoroughness. No matter what the issue, once she took on the cause, she would see it through to completion with her own standard of excellence. She had a natural compassionate tendency to reach out to rescue or help others who may be in need, and would exhaust whatever resources she could to make their situation better. She followed her Lord with the same passion and conviction, which was the foundation of who she was and what she stood for. Carol leaves behind her devoted husband, Ron, and her two sons, David (Heather) and Daniel Dubinsky; her mother, Virginia Magee, and mother-in-law, Sophie Dubinsky; her two sisters, Nancy (John) Allen, and Dori Magee; her brother-in-law, Gary (Patty) Dubinsky; her grandchildren, Bailey, Cameron, Allyson, Makenzie, Charleigh, and Hunter; her nephews and nieces; cousins and aunts; her good friend and business colleague, Robert March; and many special friends.

Your love and support will never be forgotten. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” John 11:25&26 (NASB)

While raising his family in Roanoke, Mr. Wiley operated the AE Finley dealership for more than 20 years. He also pursued a career in real estate development with the development of two shopping centers and various residential communities in the greater Roanoke Valley and served on the Board of the Salem Bank and Trust. Upon his marriage to Lynn Wiley in 1989, he moved to The Plains where he spent 35 years as a successful real estate broker in partnership with his wife.

OBITUARIES William Christopher Jennings William Christopher Jennings, age 35, from Chelmsford, MA and Manassas, VA passed away on July 23, 2018. He was predeceased by his grandmother, Lois Marie Jennings and a cousin, Troy Jordan Ballengee. He is survived by his parents, Richard and Myong Ja Jennings of Manassas, VA; a sister, Sabrina L. Jennings of Centreville, VA; his aunts and uncles, Janet Peters, Barbara & Tim Bright, Karen Jennings & Ricky, and JoAnn & Dale Ballengee; a grandfather, Albert Blaine Jennings, Jr; cousins, Jim Hagerman & Maureen, Valerie & Josh Gibson, Michael & Julie Thompson, David and Joseph Peters. He grew up in Massachusetts in areas outside of Boston and moved to VA 3 years ago. He was working as a home improvement technician with his cousins Val and Josh for Gibson Home Services. They called him Wreck it Ralph because he was the big guy in red, but that name had no connection to the work ethic and dedication he had at every single job or project. Will’s love of life was infectious and he managed to brighten the room and people’s souls when it seemed it was raining all around them. His many “best” friends will contest that they never felt like a friend, they felt like family. That’s because to him everyone was a brother or sister. He was always the first one there for someone in need, no matter the place, time or problem. He never left a friend behind. He always remembered a birthday and called just to see how you were, when most of us get caught up in our own lives and take for granted the time we have to reach out. Saying his absence will be missed is not even close to what will truly be missing in each and everyone’s lives he has touched. We love you Will, more than you ever realized. A funeral service was held on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at Moser Funeral Home Chapel.

In addition, he loved making people laugh and was known by many as “Bucket”, “LB”, and “Rosie”. George succumbed to Alzheimer’s Disease and finally is at peace with his Lord. He was a devoted father, stepdad, and grandfather and will be missed by all those whose lives he has touched. George is survived by his daughter, Dr. Meg Sutherland-Smith and sons, Dr. George B.

Chip Ray Rademacher Chip Ray Rademacher was born March 17, 1963 in Huntingburg, Indiana to Dawn Clarence and Carol Ann Rademacher. As many young people growing up during the 1960’s, Chip was motivated and inspired by the people and family who surrounded him. The influences and examples of character and leadership he experienced set the course to enter a path of service to his country. This path led him to many different career opportunities that would shape his future, while at the same time allow him to safeguard the very structure and foundation that has made America the greatest nation in the world. At 18 Chip entered the United States Air Force where he served as a Communication/Technical Specialist. While serving in this role with the USAF, Chip excelled in this role to such a level that he was transferred and assigned to the White House Communications Agency (WHCA); an organization that works and supports the movements and travel activity of the President of the United States and other members of the Executive Branch. The posting of Chip to WHCA is a significant accomplishment in that only a very small percentage of the candidates selected from each of the military branches are appointed to these coveted positions. The fact that Chip was part of the WHCA Team made him a prime technical candidate for his next career with the Drug Enforcement Administration (1990 - 2012), where he excelled as a Senior Communications Specialist. The WHCA candidates are always considered the “cream of the crop” and first to be offered positions due to the unusual nature and difficulty of the DEA mission. During his tenure with DEA, Chip served with excellence and was posted to the offices of DEA New Orleans, El Paso, and the DEA Country Office of Kabul, Afghanistan. During his posting in the foreign environment, Chipbroadened his already diverse skills that would lead him to his next career in the national security/ commercial sector. With this new opportunity, Chip chose to retire from DEA and fully commit himself to support the war on terrorism/the counter narcotics elements that funded such activities against the free nations of the world. Chip next entered employment with JSI Telecom Inc. in August 2012. In January 2013, he transferred to an overseas location for a 14-month tour, during which he oversaw the installation and implementation of one of the largest projects in JSI’s history. Upon his return to Chantilly, Chip earned his PMP certification and used is knowledge and abilities to take on a leadership role for various projects, serving multiple US Government and international customers. Over the past two years, he broadened his role at JSI, traveling extensively and taking on international business development endeavors while continuing his management role on several projects. Around the office, Chip was a pleasure to work with and always had a smile ready for anyone he came in contact with. His wide range of knowledge, professionalism, and always pleasant demeanor allowed him to develop personal and professional relationships in his efforts in the international arena with senior leadership and heads of state throughout the Middle East, Africa, and other regions of the world. It should also be noted that with Chip’s passing many of these people/organizations have responded with condolences for Chip’s family, which as they knew, always came as a priority in his life and career. Chip is survived by his loving wife, Carol Rademacher, his parents, Dawn Clarence and Carol Ann Rademacher, maternal grandmother, Doris Erwin, daughters, Heather Rademacher Taylor, husband Jeff, Amber Leigh Rademacher Landry, husband Morgan, and his son, Raymond Anthony Locantro. Chip is also survived by his sister, Dawn Farver, husband Ken, sister-in-law Betty Barbara Bostick, husband Al, sister-in-law Marilyn Meyers, husband Derrell, sister-in-law Wendy West. He was also survived by a host of nieces and nephews, as well as grand-nieces and nephews. A celebration to honor the life, career, and accomplishments of Chip Rademacher was held at Moser Funeral Home at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, Virginia 20186 (540-347-3431) on Sunday, July 29th. Visitation took place from 1 to 2PM with the service to following.

BRIEFS PROCTOR UPDATE LHS star shining at UVa.

Former Liberty star R.J. Proctor appears in line to start at right guard for the University of Virginia football team this fall. Proctor, listed at 6-foot4, 315 pounds, appeared in all 13 games R.J. Proctor last year, starting five. He made headlines this summer by shining in a team strength training exercise that saw him perform a team-high 37 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press. The Cavaliers (6-7 last year) open Sept. 1 vs. Richmond at Scott Stadium.

Two-time Falcon state champ Sam Fisher added to his legacy recently in North Dakota.

FISHER EMERGES ON NATIONAL STAGE Falcon named all-American twice in Fargo, N.D. By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Take a bow, Sam Fisher. Now take another bow. Fauquier High’s two-time state champion wrestler earned two all-America honors at the United States Marine Corps Cadet/Junior National Championships held by USA Wrestling in Fargo, North Dakota. A rising junior and member of the 16-year-old Team Virginia Cadet squad, Fisher became the first Fauquier County wrestler to smash the all-American barrier at an event considered the Super Bowl of high school wrestling. The annual event in the Fargodome saw Fisher place third in Greco-Roman and seventh in freestyle. The top eight make all-American. “I hadn’t reached that milestone before. That was a big weight off my shoulders,” said Fisher, who wrestles for the local Birds of Prey Wrestling Club. “In freestyle, I felt I was a contender for the top five. I felt I could

have done better in freestyle. I was really hoping to make the finals,” he said. After going 5-2 to take seventh in freestyle, Fisher launched into the Greco-Roman competition, winning his first four matches to reach the championship semifinals. He lost a 4-0 decision before later pinning Minnesota’s Macaron Kukowski for the bronze medal. Fisher’s bronze in Greco-Roman was a surprise since he was less experienced in the discipline. “Honestly, I didn’t know how well I would do at all in Greco,” the Falcon said despite being seeded slightly higher in that field. “I’m not a big Greco person, but then again, not many people are. I was hoping for all-American, but I had no idea I would do that well.” “For Greco, it’s more of a mindset,” he continued. “Going out there and staying in good position and bringing the fight. It’s important to trigger first. That’s something I was working on the entire time.” “I was really happy with his results and also with the effort. It’s not always about the results,” said FHS

coach Doug Fisher, also Sam’s dad. “He trained hard for it.” “The way this tournament works, you have to qualify,” Doug Fisher said of state tournaments or regional-qualifying events. “Basically, every state is trying to put their best team there, so the best kids in the country are there. It is the national tournament.” Fisher is a two-time state champion in Class 4. He won at 170 as a sophomore and 160 as a freshman. Fisher went to Fargo as a 15-yearold and went 3-2 mark in both disciplines. This summer he entered as the No. 7 seed in the freestyle field and No. 6 as a Greco-Roman wrestler, his father said. Coach Fisher also said the wrestling club spends appreciable time working on freestyle and Greco-Roman. “That wasn’t something we did as a team collectively” until approximately 10 years ago, he said. “We could see the fruits of our labor. That was momentous from that perspective to have someone who came through our club to be able to go out there and place.”

Former Liberty High and Virginia Tech football star Wyatt Teller of the Buffalo Bills is listed as the Bills’ second team right guard by BuffaloRumbings.com. “Given Teller’s college resume, his size, his strength, and the overall lack of bodies at his position, it’s almost a given that he will make the final roster,” said the website.

The Chestnut Forks Blue Marlins wrapped up another perfect swim season Saturday by winning the Tri-County League All-Stars meet after finishing the regular season as champions with a 5-0 record. They won 33 of 50 All-Stars races in the Chestnut Forks Athletic Club pool to give head coach Cherie Adair a nice sendoff for her retirement from coaching. “Seven wonderful years,” she said. “Glad to finish out as All-Stars and [regular season] champions.” Chestnut Forks scored 2,147 points Saturday

From left are Avery Glenn, 9, Lillian Weidner, 11, Leah Rogers, 10, Natalie Rogers, 7, Jennifer Pauling, 8, and Alyssa Weidner, 6. to win the All-Stars event, while Fauquier Swim Club finished second with 1,475, Fauquier Springs Country Club placed third with 1,271, Orange took fourth with 1,039 and Culpeper Recreation Club finished fifth with 231.

The Blue Marlins broke 11 team records during Cherie Adair’s final summer with Connor Adair shining most in the all-star meet. He had a hand in winning seven races, while Caroline Agee and Michael Polifko each had a hand in six victories.

Rain ends Post 72’s season By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Despite entering as the No. 6 seed, Warrenton Post 72 began this week feeling optimistic about the American Legion District 16 baseball tournament. With 14 players available, Post 72 had it largest roster of the summer, so the guys were excited to be near full strength after amassing only five wins during the regular season with a limited roster. They never got the opportunity to show their true potential in the tournament. Rain defeated Post 72 every day last week, entirely washing out the tournament quarterfinals and giving the top four seed automatic bids to the semifinals while ending the season for the bottom four seeds, including Warrenton. “So it was a little disappointing,” Post 72 head coach Kevin Lee said. “It set up well [for a tournament run]. We finally had the majority of our roster.” The tournament quarterfinals were scheduled for July 23 followed by the semifinals July 24 and final July 25 with the district champion advancing to play Monday in the state tournament. But rain postponements pushed the quarterfinals all the way back to Friday, when Warrenton traveled to Leesburg Post 34

at Riverside High. “We just watched it rain for 45 minutes straight,” Lee said of the trip to Riverside. “That kind of rain on top of the whole week of rain, it wasn’t playable at all. “And they had a hard deadline to have a champion by Saturday,” he said. So district officials canceled the quarterfinals and scheduled a Saturday doubleheader for the semifinals and final. Winchester eventually beat Asburn for district title, while Warrenton finished with a 5-9 record after ending last season at 9-4 and as the district runner-up. This summer, Post 72 showed promise with a 3-3 run entering the tournament after a 2-6 start to the season. “I thought we were on the verge,” Lee said. “We were very competitive.” Composed of high school players from Kettle Run (nine), Fauquier (six), Brentsville (two) and Rappahannock (one), Post 72 seemed to have significant talent. Its roster included 2018 high school all-state players in Fauquier’s Blaze O’Saben and Brentsville’s Garett Cornell and Mason Posey, along with all-region players in Kettle Run’s Bailey Burke, Zach Ewald and Michael Aldrich, and Fauquier’s Lane Pearson and Cole Western. In fact, Fauquier and Brentsville each advanced to the state semifi-

Aldrich led the way at .417 and Caden DeCroo hit .400, while Western, O’Saben and Max Lilek each hit over .375 with Troy Smith and Posey ending over .300. “Unfortunately they were not all on the field at the same time,” Lee said of players who had other time

commitments during the summer. “It was kind of a tale of who showed up.” During Warrenton’s five victories, it outscored opponents 37-9, but in its nine losses (including one forfeit) Post 72 allowed 68 runs while scoring 37. Posey and Ryan Daniels each earned two wins as pitchers, while Pearson had one complete-game victory. “When I could throw Lane or Mason or Ryan and get a quality start,” Lee said, “in those games we” did well.

POE KNOWS EVENTING

Connor Poe, 18, of Marshall captured the U.S. Pony Club championship over the weekend, riding Jocelyn Cole’s Sparrow’s Galway Bay. He represented the Virginia Region and the local Old Dominion Hounds Pony Club.

FHS grad helps Virginia Region reign at Tryon By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

After winning his third-straight U.S Pony Club eventing title over the weekend, Connor Poe says he’s already eyeing the 2019 championship. A native of Marshall and 2018 Fauquier High grad, Poe rode his third different horse in as many years to claim gold at the USPC Championship held at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in North Carolina. Poe represented the Virginia Region, and the Old Dominion Hounds Pony Club, winning the novice division individual title. “This was my most memorable championship yet,” said Poe, 18. He’s headed to Bridgewater College this fall, but he loves the team aspect of the youth club events. “You meet people from all over the country, and get to see how other kids from other clubs do things a little different from you. You learn from each other. “Plus it’s fun.” Poe captained the Virginia squad that included Middleburg rider Annabelle Coppersmith and two Deep Run members. They finished seventh overall after a water bucket mistake cost them critical horse management penalties and knocked them out of team gold contention. Individually, Poe added just four penalties from a knockdown in show jumping to his winning dressage score for the big victory. “My horse showed up for business when we got in the ring,” he said of family homebred Sparrow’s Galway Bay, a 10-year-old half-thoroughbred, half-Connemara. “I’m extremely excited about my baby winning the championship,” added Poe’s aunt and Galway Bay’s owner Jocelyn Cole. “Connor rides him well.” Cole said Poe’s younger brother Colby rode another family homebred, Liberty Bell, on the Virginia beginner novice team. Coach Debbie Welch said Tryon – hosting the World

Loudoun Hunt’s Annabelle Coppersmith was second individually in novice. In polocrosse, CWPC riders Adina Baer, Scott Carpenter, Virginia Carpenter and Grace Hecker traded wins with CWPC’s Ashby Hatcher and Anna Bushman on a scramble team with South Region riders. Bean Hatcher and Sean Gray were on the third-placed team, Ronald Borta on the fourth-place team.

2018 FHS grad Elise Fernandez will run at Radford.

Fernandez to run at Radford By Fred Hodge

Special to the times

A 2018 Fauquier High graduate, Elise Fernandez never saw herself becoming a NCAA Division I runner. Radford University felt differently, recruiting her successfully this summer. “My coaches believed in me, and my parents believed in me. They all kept pushing me to get better. That’s how I got here,” said Fernandez, who begins running for the Highlanders this fall. Radford made its first contact in November, thanks in part to the presence of brother Carson, a former all-state Falcon runner who ran as a freshman at Radford. “Because of Carson, [coach Eric Thatcher] found me. Then he was impressed on how well I had done in my short years in cross country,” said Fernandez, who began competing as a junior. Fernandez was a force in indoor and outdoor track in several individual events and was a stalwart in relays, helping FHS win the Class 4 state title in the 3,200-meter relay. She also competed in the 400, 800 and 1,600 relays. “She would do anything we asked. It was ‘OK.’ That was her answer,” said coach Quentin Jones. “I’m very proud of the type of young lady she is.” Fernandez’ four-year progression opened an entrance to college competition. “She had a very good career here and was a big part of our program. She was a big point-getter,” coach Jones said. “She’s a competitor who will fight tooth and nail. She’s just a hard worker, steady and strong.” As a senior, she earned four state meet track medals, five at regionals and four in districts. Her No. 1 highlight came in her final meet. After being postponed for two days, Fauquier won the 3,200 relay. “We were second when I took the baton (for the third leg),” she recalled.” “Then I led for an entire lap before I hit a wall.” She was second when she handed off to Hannah Holland, who ran a strong anchor leg for the gold medal. “I was so excited for the team. It was crazy,” Fernandez said with a smile. “If someone had told me that would be me four ago, I would have said ‘You’re out of your mind. What are you talking about?’ I’d never run the 800 before this year.” Fernandez plans to major in elementary education, with a desire to teach kindergartners. She currently is running 35-40 miles a week. There’s been a change in coaches since she committed.

It’s a tough task to scale Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. It’s even harder when you start in Georgia. The 6,288-foot peak with an alpine climate is the highest in the Northeastern U.S. and an allday challenge for recreational hikers in New England. Appalachian Trail hiker Doug Harpole of Amissville reached that point this week as he draws ever closer to completing his epic 2,180-mile walk. “I can see Maine!!!” wrote Harpole in a Tuesday email. “I am sitting on top of Mt. Washington. I climbed up from camp this morning. I left about 5:30 a.m. All of the climbing was above the tree-line, so when I got to the top I could look back and see that there was no one else on the trail. I walked to the other side and looked down. No one! I had the highest peak in the Northeast all to myself.” While Mt. Washington’s weather can be extreme, he said there wasn’t a hint of a breeze. “I think this might be the quietest place I have been,” he wrote, before adding, “It’s a bit hazy. Part of the mountain is a state park and some employees just drove up. It’s probably in the 40s now so I think I will move on.” Harpole said the White Mountains have been difficult, but called the views magnificent. “I jumped on to a guided tour of alpine plants yesterday. When it was over, I was talking with the guide, and she and I walked around for another hour. It was one of the highlights of my

Fauquier County hiker Doug Harpole was bitten by a horse in southern Virginia during his Appalachian Trail hike. He’s now in New Hampshire. week,” he wrote. He plans to summit Mt. Katahdin, the end of the trail, before Labor Day. Wife Susan is driving to meet him.

High sugar diet

It wouldn’t normally work in the real world, but a high sugar diet is keeping Harpole moving. For breakfast he often starts with two honey buns for over 700 calories, plus a Clif bar, cheese sticks and trail mix. Since he hits the trail at sunrise, he eats two lunches. They consist of tortillas and cheese, or tortillas and peanut butter, or pepperoni or summer sausage. He’ll add dried apricots, mangoes or raisins and top it off with jerky and something sugary like Snickers, M&Ms or dark chocolate.

For dinner, he has cheese again, sometimes with a tortilla, and a main course of a Knorr pasta with a packet of tuna or salmon mixed in. It adds up to around 5,000 calories per day. Harpole burns over 600 calories an hour hiking the Appalachian Trail. Many of his buddies have lost over 50 pounds. Harpole has lost about 15, getting him to 164, he said.

Moose droppings on trail

“Vermont was my favorite hiking state so far. The mountains were good-sized but the slopes were moderate and nice to hike. I have found moose droppings but have not seen any live ones,” said Harpole.

Is there a doctor in the house?

‘Doc At Your Door’ launches in-home medical practice By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

On August 15, residents throughout the Fauquier County region will be able to receive modern medical care in a yesteryear environment: their home. And if it’s a bit difficult to conjure up a doctor ringing your door bell, just go with it. It’s a leading-edge trend that may well gain momentum in the coming years. The traditional insurance-based model of health care began changing in the 1990s and was largely centered on wealthier patients who could afford what was termed “concierge care.” The service cost thousands of dollars a year and offered patients a personal physician available whenever they needed one. While the model still exists, a growing number of physicians are blending conventional patient care with the concierge model. Some even sign on with concierge practice firms who manage the program for the physician. The advantages for participating patients are the ease in scheduling appointments and personal care in an era of overburdened medical practices that increasingly are unable to provide quality health care due to patient overload. Concierge plans can range from $100 a month up to $20,000 or more annually. But typically, they run from $1,500 to $2,000 a year, and the costs are not covered by insurance, a significant out-of-pocket expense for the

average patient. Physicians are attracted to feebased services because it enables them to reduce their panel of patients while providing better Dr. William L. care with less adSimpson ministrative insurance work. But there is another approach to fee-based medical care that does not require monthly or annual membership fees. And it’s coming to the Fauquier area in mid-August.

Dr. William L. Simpson

Dr. Simpson, 58, is a familiar face to thousands of local patients. He was founder and medical director of Piedmont Internal Medicine and practiced there until earlier this year when he left to create Doc At Your Door. What drives an experienced physician to abandon a successful practice and strike out on his own? “After 25 years of playing the insurance game, I’ve witnessed firsthand how our nation’s health care industry impedes the delivery of high-quality health care,” said Simpson. “It focuses more on treatment than prevention, more on specialty care than primary care, and more on volume of care than quality. And frankly, more on saving money than saving lives.” Like a growing number of private pay doctors, Simpson elected to fo-

cus his energy and skills on patients rather than insurance guidelines, pre-authorizations, denials, appeals and other obstacles to quality care imposed by insurance plans today. However, unlike most private-pay physicians, Simpson’s practice has no monthly or annual fees. In fact, no fees at all other than what he specifically charges patients for each home visit. It’s a business model that might be perceived as radical except for its simplicity. Perhaps the best way to envision how it works in real time is to think of the conventional billing practices of attorneys, accountants, tax advisers, lawyers, consultants and a host of other professionals. In fact, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, auto-glass installers and more bill the same way. Under any of these scenarios, an on-site service is provided, a bill rendered and a payment made. Doc At Your Door will use the same model. And what services will be offered? All of the services provided in his previous practice will be available from his new business. Physicals, labs, EKGs, nursing home and assisted-living admissions, screenings for diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, heart disease and cancer. Whatever ails a patient will fall under Simpson’s skillful eyes and stethoscope. Insurance will still be employed for screenings and medications, but the patient will file those claims directly with their carrier. The practice will not act on their behalf, reducing

its overhead costs. The service model has two components: traditional and premier. Traditional covers all health-care issues. The premier category expands on those basic services to include, among other services, the TELEHEALTH system that allows patients to communicate with their physician by phone, text, email, fax or video. The premier service is only available for patients who have been seen at least once in the previous 12 months. But consider: What would it be like to have direct electronic contact with your doctor and receive prompt feedback? Ahhh…you get the picture. See DOC, Page 18

Fees

The pricing structure for the new medical practice is straight forward: • Care: $5/minute (6 a.m.- 6 p.m.), $7/minute (after hours, weekend, holidays) • Travel: $2/minute (Out and back from Main Street, Warrenton) • Materials: As incurred (meds, vaccines, bandages, etc.) A possible 15-minute daytime home visit for a patient who wants a flu shot and a cholesterol test and lives eight miles from Simpson’s start point would cost $75 for the visit and a $32 travel fee, or $107. The blood test, if covered by insurance, would be filed by the patient. Anyone considering the service would weigh that bill against the time and effort to make a conventional office visit, take time out of their schedule to go and incur any associated costs such as gas. For busy career professionals the cost/benefit trade-off may make sense considering no other fees and retainer charges would be involved. In addition to harried workers, Simpson sees homebound or limited-mobility patients especially benefiting from his services since there are an estimated 5 million such individuals nationwide. “My wife is a geriatric care manager and I’ve heard for years how it’s such an ordeal for these patients to get out of their house. Often a family

member has to take a day off from work and hire transportation. It can cost hundreds of dollars just to get these folks to a doctor’s office.” Simpson can solve those problems, reduce costs and, more importantly, improve the level of care by coming directly to a shut-in’s home.

Mobile doctor’s office

Once Simpson launches his service he will have no brick and mortar office. “I will be completely mobile,” said Simpson. His initial intent is to service all counties bordering Fauquier County but will evaluate his geographical reach based on caseload. The intent is to provide prompt service so reframing his service area would be driven by the number of patients he sees daily. “I can’t tell you how many of my previous patients would come in with a list of eight or 10 items they

of care. I can sit down with patients right after their hospital discharges and help them figure out their doctor’s instructions, how to dovetail new meds with existing ones, figure out follow appointments and [do] all this outside the restrictions of insurance companies,” Simpson emphasized. “This is how health care was provided decades ago. Over time, it got consolidated back to office visits. Now there is a trend to going back to the home. I’m excited to be embarking on this in our community.

Fauquier Collaborative seeks new solutions The goal: coordinating help for local businesses By Alice Felts

Contributing Writer

There are many organizations in the community that provide helpful sessions for entrepreneurs. Sometimes subject matter offered can overlap among groups. Recently, three women got together to discuss the possibilities of publicizing these events. The question arose among Michelle Coe, of the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce and the Micro Enterprise Council; Christine Kriz, of Lord Fairfax Community College’s Small Business Development Center; and Jennifer Goldman, of the Fauquier Enterprise Center: How will we know what is going on if we don’t get together? The answer was it would be nice to work together, intentionally, and include others. The group recognized that several organizations within Fauquier County have similar missions and services with respect to assisting small businesses, helping entrepreneurs start their businesses, and providing resources and special events to interested persons. The small group contacted 17 more organizations to collaborate in publicizing events to provide services to small businesses. Along with the three initiators – Coe, Kriz and Goldman – representatives from six other organizations attended the first meeting: Tom Wisemiller, Warrenton’s Economic Development manager; Renee Younes, of George Mason University’s Enterprise Center-Fauquier; Jenn Sweigart, of PATH Resource Center; Cindy Legg, of Be the Change Foundation; Jenny Knox, of People Incorporated; and Carlene Hurdle, of LFCC Workforce Solutions. Those who serve business clients and focus on creating events for small business owners are invited to be a part of what is now known as the Fauquier Collaborative. This informal group, mostly nonprofit organizations and local government entities, is open to organizations in Fauquier County who have a focus to serve the business community through education and business-development support.

Brainstorming among several of the county’s organizers has led to the formation of the Fauquier Collaborative, a group hoping to better connect the dots when it comes to sharing events. Members of the initial meeting included: Standing, left to right, are Michelle Coe, Jennifer Goldman, Christine Kriz and Jenny Knox. Seated, from left are, Cindy Legg, Renee Younes and Jenn Sweigart a nonprofit organization, is not affiliated with any group, and there are no fees to participate. While the Fauquier Collaborative will meet infrequently, the goal is to provide information using an online format to share files and information on a community calendar. Through effective communication tools and periodic meetings, these efforts will reduce duplication of event topics while bolstering attendance at all events. The outcome is to not only better serve the small business community, but to be aware of the events sponsored by each group. Each organization in the collaborative will promote each other’s events. “We have agreed to cross-promote, using our own resources to create more activity,” said Michelle Coe. Coe added, “We believe that by working together toward this common mission, our individual organizations can be more effective in serving businesses throughout the county. Our cooperative efforts will result in positive outcomes for our business community, each of our organizations, and Fauquier county as a whole.” For those interested in participating in the Fauquier Collaborative, contact Michelle Coe, 540-422-0916 or m.coe@blueskyphoenix.com.

Mission accomplished: Group charged with converting former Army base calls it quits By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Its work now done, the Vint Hill Economic Development Authority has gone out of business. The entity set up to market the former U.S. Army intelligence base off Vint Hill Road formally ceased to exist after the Fauquier Board of Supervisors approved a resolution on July 12 to dissolve it. Then-Gov. George Allen (R) established the EDA in 1996 to redevelop the 700 acres of base property to bring jobs and investment to the area following the base’s closure. Closure of the base left a “gaping hole” in terms of lost jobs, said Tim Harms, director of the VHEDA. “Through political outreach, the governor decided to create the VHEDA” with the goal of filling that employment gap as well as generating a source of tax revenue, Harms said, noting the goal took many years of work by a board of volunteers. From 1999 to 2017, the VHEDA sold property to commercial business interests and private developers. It donated some property – the 30 acres turned over to the state for the Puller Veterans Care center project and 24

attached housing units to a local nonprofit emergency shelter and gifted property to Fauquier County. The VHEDA is credited with establishing 2,000 permanent jobs at Vint Hill through the businesses and governmental entities that located there. Besides the FAA, the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority has offices at Vint Hill. Fauquier County Parks and Recreation also has a gym and a pool there. It’s also home to a satellite campus of Lord Fairfax Community College. The Lasley Center for the Performing Arts, Old Bust Head Brewery, the Inn at Vint Hill, Gaithersburg Architectural Millworks, Vint Hill Coffee, Vint Hill Craft Winery, the Covert Café and the Cold War Museum are among the entities that call Vint Hill home. “Where there were no private businesses, now there are a multitude of private businesses,” said Harms. A total of $25 million was spent by the VHEDA on a new road network, waste-water collection and treatment, water distribution and storage and upgrades and expansion of power and communication facilities. The sale of property and leasing of property covered the cost of mak-

Birge Watkins served on the VHEDA board since 2006, including a time as chairman. “We met monthly though the work slowed down later,” Watkins recalled. “It was a fairly small board. We didn’t have a lot of committees. We had staff help. There was land that we leased and a considerable amount of land that had to be subdivided. In the early days, before I got there, the roads were inadequate and not up to standards. Three hundred homes were built in the early days and that gave us some revenue.

For a long time, we leased, then sold property.” That was tough at times, Watkins recalled. “There were a couple recessions and the dot com bust,” he said. It was easier during boom years. The final asset sold by the VHEDA in September 2017 was a building now occupied by Columbia Gas. The 30 acres of land for the Puller Center was donated at the same time, paving the way for the VHEDA to ask to be dissolved. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Physician assistants: The future of medicine? PAs take aim at tomorrow’s health care By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

If you haven’t already encountered the moment of truth, you will. You call your doctor – primary or specialist – and ask for an appointment for that nagging lower back pain: “We can’t get you in for two weeks. Would you like to see a physician assistant?” What? Of course not, I want to see a doctor, my doctor. But then again, two weeks? So, you book an appointment with a PA but are left feeling disappointed a Doctor of Medicine will not be evaluating your painful lumbar discs. But not so fast. The pending appointment could well be one of the more rewarding medical visits you’ve encountered. Physician assistants are gaining both in numbers and popularity for many well-earned reasons. Dr. Eugene A. Stead with Duke University launched the first formal educational program for physician assistants in 1965. He saw a growing need for help with his office practice and was impressed with the level of skill and intelligence nurses returning from Vietnam exhibited. Here were veterans ready to serve in the private sector. From a mere handful of practitioners in 1967, when the program was formally established, today more than 123,000 physician assistants are meeting the medical needs of tens of thousands of patients in the United States. There are 3,200 PAs in Virginia and an estimated 40 serving the Fauquier County area. By comparison, in 2013, there were more than one million doctors in the U.S. but last year the number dropped to around 953,000; a figure that may be headed even further south. See PAs, Page 22 PHOTO BY JOHN HAGARTY

Michele Glowicki, physician assistant at Blue Ridge Orthopaedic & Spine Center, has been practicing medicine for 34 years.

Fauquier Health provides easy access to open medical records Medical and support professionals work hard to personalize, humanize and demystify the patient experience. One way to do that is for health care providers to proactively offer patients open access to their medical records while they are hospitalized. The Planetree organization, a leader in patient-centered care, has conducted more than 20 years of focus groups; it found that patients who are given access to their medical charts are happier with their health providers. Research also says that patients who feel more in control of their own care are less likely to report care coordination problems. Fauquier Health is committed to

ROBIN EARL making medical records available to patients because: • Patients want it. • It demystifies health care. • It helps to engage patients and family members in their own health care. • It promotes quality and safety.

• It strengthens patient/provider relationships. • It promotes shared decision making. • It enhances patient satisfaction. • It promotes continuity and coordination of care. • It promotes an environment conducive to healing. • It’s a patient’s right. A proactive approach means that patients are welcome to ask their nurse to show them their records and are encouraged to ask questions about anything they don’t understand. For example, if a patient with an inSee RECORDS, Page 23

Physician Assistants: The future of medicine? PAs take aim at tomorrow’s health care PAs, from Page 21

Declining M.D. prestige?

Scores of doctors today are being forced to adapt to transformational changes; changes that often eviscerate the pride and satisfaction of a career in healing. Expansion of health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act to include 20 million people coupled with changes in Medicare are revamping how physicians are paid. Added to the compensation issue is a pronounced increase in hours spent in administering patient computer files and insurance company claims. As an example, the implementation of a system called ICD-10 raised the number of disease classification codes physicians use from 14,000 to 68,000. Ponder the impact on record keeping with just that change. The overall effect has been to send a chill throughout the medical industry centered on physician burnout. It’s simply not as gratifying to make people well as it used to be. Further, the “corporatization” of healthcare, including ongoing mergers of hospitals, places more focus on the bottom line to the detriment of patient welfare. Under this broad scenario, it’s projected by 2025 there will be a nationwide deficit of 90,400 doctors. Underscoring the bleak picture is the alarming trend of doctor suicide.

One doctor commits suicide in the U.S. every day, the highest rate of any profession and twice the suicide rate of the general population. Stress and depression are the leading causes and physicians need relief on multiple fronts. PAs seek to ease the workload for many of these overburdened doctors while delivering quality care.

Physician Assistant ascendency

To underscore the expansion of this unique specialty, the profession has grown more than 54 percent in just the last eight years. Annually more than 400 million patient interactions unfold under the experienced care of PAs. And lest you think the educational requirements to practice as a PA are relatively undemanding, consider the cohort must earn a four-year college degree followed by three years earning a master’s in physician assistant medicine. Moreover, many doctors seek PAs who have additional experience as an EMT, paramedic or nurse. Suffice it to say, you’re in good hands with a rigorously trained PA. Once ensconced in a white coat environment, PAs can perform most of the functions of a regular doctor, including conducting physical exams, diagnosing and treating illnesses, ordering and interpreting tests such as X-rays, MRIs, blood work, and prescribing medications.

At Hidden Springs Senior Living, you are treated like family. Daryl, Vicki, and Aron say grace and dine with residents. “Our Home is filled with love, laughter and sincere compassion for the residents.”

“I feel PAs are an integral part of a health care team. With the population aging and expansion of Medicaid, there is a growing need for health care. The PA profession is rising to meet that need,” said Rose Rutherford, president of the Virginia Academy of Physician Assistants adding, “People who enjoy people gravitate toward the medical practice. They are happy with their careers.” And it shows in how they interact with patients. It’s not unusual for someone seen by a PA to have a positive reaction with the encounter. In 1980, 36 percent of PAs were female. Today that number is 68 percent, underscoring the advancement of women in the workforce and the nature of caregiving by women. PAs typically spend more time with a patient, listening and providing care and health advice than a physician can and does. But whether a PA is male or female, the perception of many patients is that a more positive medical interface can be achieved when being seen by a PA.

Long time Fauquier PA

One of the most experienced PAs in Virginia works in Warrenton. Michele Glowicki is the senior PA at Blue Ridge Orthopaedic & Spine Center and supervises the work of four other PAs. Raised in Alexandria, she obtained her degree to practice in 1984 and has spent 34 years treating patients. “There are generally two reactions when patients encounter PAs,” said Glowicki. “The first group doesn’t want to see one. They want to see a doctor. But other patients like to see us versus a physician because we do spend, on average, more time with them than a doctor does.” However, she underscores a theme heard whenever the subject of PAs arises in a clinical setting. “The second group realizes we are a team and do have the resources of a physician available. They feel comfortable with us treating them.” The team concept of medical practice is embedded in today’s medical world. For previously mentioned rea-

sons physicians are increasingly relying on PAs to help provide comprehensive care for their patient panel. “In my years of experience, I do have patients that I follow but when I feel the need for them to see a surgeon we go back and forth as needed acting as a team to treat each individual.” Echoing the pressures placed on doctors today, Glowicki says, “I think that’s the way medicine is working today. Physicians are under pressure, not being fairly reimbursed and if a doctor can use a PA I think the patients are better served.” On the subject of compensation, it might appear doctors are, in fact, well compensated for their skills. On average, physician incomes range from $200,000 to more than $300,000 annually based on the type of medicine they practice. Surgeons fall into the higher income ranges. But stagnating compensation appears to be a real problem with many physicians seeing their incomes fail to keep place with the cost of living. Many have worked decades and invested heavily to achieve their high earning years only to see their compensation flatline. PAs salaries reflect the importance of their growing contribution to medicine and range from $100,000 to $120,000; again, depending on the discipline they’ve chosen to pursue. Working alongside surgeons reaps higher rewards. With industry estimates of up to a 43 percent of doctors considering cutting back, retiring or switching to non-clinical work, the future of physician assistants appears bright. So, if faced with a decision to see a doctor or PA in the future, consider embracing the future of medicine and give a PA an opportunity to heal. For wine tales and more visit Hagarty-on-wine.com

University of Virginia Health System is now seeing patients at UVA Radiology Vein and Vascular Care Gainesville, which provides care for conditions ranging from cancer to circulation problems. The care team at this new clinic specializes in image-guided, minimally-invasive treatment options for a range of conditions, including sclerotherapy, varicose veins of the legs, peripheral arterial disease, uterine fibroids and some cancers that have not fully responded to chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. The minimally invasive approaches used can also shorten patients’ recovery times. “Our radiology clinic will provide patients in Northern Virginia with access to experts who will take the

time to understand your needs and offer advice on treatment options tailored to your specific situation,” said Dr. Adam B. Winick, one of the clinic’s interventional radiologists. “Each patient will be seen by one of our physicians or nurse practitioners before and after each treatment and cared for as long as needed. Our goal is to provide the highest-quality minimally invasive treatments, which are lower-risk alternatives to traditional surgery and can speed recovery time for our patients.” The clinic is staffed by six board-certified interventional radiologists and a nurse practitioner. It is located at 14540 John Marshall Highway, Suite 104, Gainesville. For appointments, call 703-712-6062 or email UVAVVC@virginia.edu.

I received the call around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17, from a radiologist at Fauquier Health that results from a stereotactic biopsy performed on July 11 were positive. His message was straightforward and delivered calmly. He expressed concern that he didn’t have better news to share. I had taken the call, one that I had been anxiously expecting and dreading, and scooted into a quiet area of the building. I was at work. He named the beast: DCIS, or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, and suggested that I talk with my doctor about next steps. I’m in the media business so handling information is what we do on a regular basis – all kinds of information that needs to be digested and processed to assess its value. While disconcerting, the positive news for me is that DCIS is a non-invasive breast cancer. Right now, it is contained in the milk ducts. It’s treatable. It’s non-life-threatening. According to the American Cancer Society, about 60,000 cases of DCIS are diagnosed in the United States each year, accounting for about one out of every five new breast cancer cases. While men can get breast cancer, it’s a disease that predominately targets women. When I spoke with my gynecologist, he told me not to panic, that we were catching it very early, that the

FROM WHERE I SIT ANITA SHERMAN success rate for recovery was very high, that surgery and most likely radiation is the standard treatment, and he gave me the names of several surgeons in the area. “Anita, you’ll be fine,” he said. As soon as you hear the word “cancer” associated with anyone that you care about, it triggers a myriad of reactions. I’ve known a good many women, men and, sadly children, who have faced the challenge of dealing with this disease. Some have died. Most have not. Each has had their own journey, some easier than others. For me, it started in early July with a routine mammogram. That led to a second mammogram, which showed in greater detail calcifications of concern. Up to this point I didn’t know anything about breast calcifications which are small calcium deposits that develop in a women’s breast tissue. They are very common and usually benign (noncancerous). In fact, in about 80 percent of the cases, they are benign. They fall into two types: macrocalcifications and microcal-

Taking Charge of Your Medical Information

The Fauquier Health eChart is a free, secure, private program designed to enhance communication and coordination of care. It’s a platform where patients can access important health information related to their hospital stay or procedure. Patients who participate will have instant access to important information, including: • Procedures completed during a hospital stay • Vital signs taken during that stay • A list of current and past medical issues • Discharge instructions • A list of current medicines and medicine history • Laboratory test results • Radiology reports • Billing statements • Continuity of Care Documents (CCD)

If you would like to sign up in between hospital visits, go online to www. fauquierhealth.org and click on “Patients and Visitors,” then “E-Chart Patient Portal.” Patients are able to set up an account with a user name and password they select. Reports and other information are posted between 30 hours and seven days after the reports are final or after an inpatient discharge. You can sign up for an eChart for yourself, your child under the age of 10, or an adult for whom you have Power of Attorney (with proper signed documentation). You cannot sign up for or use an eChart of another adult (your adult “child,” spouse, domestic partner), however, there is a sharing feature within eChart that lets a user see information of those that have shared it from their eChart. Children between the ages of 10 and 17 cannot use eChart due to limitations of the software and HIPAA law. Robin Earl is the public relations specialist for Fauquier Health.

cifications. Macrocalcifications are common, appear as large white ovals on the breast X-ray, and are found in roughly half of women over the age of 50. Looking like white specks, salt granules if you like, microcalcifications can be a problem if they are clustered. That could be a sign of precancerous cells or early breast cancer. Such is my case. What I found comforting was that the radiologist and I looked at the screen together. He pointed out his area of concern, and that while calcifications are common, they hadn’t appeared on any of my former mammograms. He was also concerned as there was a branching. Even my untrained, non-medical observation could see what appeared to be a line of little white ants on the march. Hm. Last Tuesday, my husband and I met with a surgeon. She went over in detail what the procedure would entail – basically going in and getting out the affected tissue and an area around it. It’s an outpatient procedure so you are in and out within the same day. They allow several weeks for healing before radiation therapy begins which is a daily procedure – like getting an X-ray – that lasts for several weeks. With the radiation you may experience fatigue and/or irritation to the skin. We’ll see. That’s a coming attraction. Hormone therapy may be required as well. The most common forms of hormone therapy for breast cancer work by preventing hormones from at-

taching to cancer cells or by decreasing your body’s production of hormones. Hormone therapy for breast cancer is often used after surgery to reduce the risk that the cancer will return. I debated whether to write about my challenge in a public forum. I have told family and a few friends and work colleagues. Admittedly part of my motivation is to share this emotional burden in hopes of dissipating its affect… to give me more time to process, more time to gracefully accept what I have no control over. And the news side of me wants to share what I have learned during the last few weeks. As a woman, I am very gratified to read statistics on the growing number of women who are diagnosed with DCIS. Suspect it’s due to the fact that we’ve living longer and the risk of cancer increases with age. Perhaps more important is the fact that more people are getting regular mammograms and the quality of these mammograms has improved dramatically. Better screening means that more of these nasty critters are spotted early before they’ve had a chance to morph. My lumpectomy is upcoming at Fauquier Health. I ask for your prayers, to remember those you know and who have had and/or are dealing with cancer kindly, and if you are a woman, make sure to regularly schedule your mammograms.

How former publisher brought the first gorillas to Washington By Kara Arundel Part Two

The Arundel safari to explore central and western Africa was set for January and February of 1955. Russell Arundel brought along his wife Marjorie, his son Nick, several friends, a guide, and a photographer. The agenda was to hunt non-threatened animals, explore the diverse landscape, and, if all went as planned, get two young gorillas to bring back to the National Zoo in Washington. They moved east from Stanleyville in the Belgian Congo, where they watched hippos, waterbucks, elephants, buffalo, and warthogs in Albert National Park. They traveled in and near Albert Park, starting at the jagged Rwenzori Mountains and moved through the calm of Lake Edward by boat toward Queen Elizabeth Park. They journeyed into and out of Uganda and Rwanda, traversing vast low-lying lakes, grassy plains, and towering volcanic mountains. Along the way, they viewed leopards, cheetahs, and zebras. They recorded the animals and scenery with their cameras and diaries and hunted animals whose species were plentiful, including leopards, which were considered nuisances then. Although the distance they covered in their time there was small compared to the broadness and variety of the entire continent, the sheer number of animals they came across surprised them. The group finalized their central and eastern African trip in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, before flying west to Leopoldville, the capital of the Belgian Congo. On their first full day in Leopoldville, Nick and Russell went to the Leopoldville Zoo to meet with John Biname. The hunter-turned-zoo-director finally had

a solid lead on gorillas for the National Zoo. There were two young gorillas—a male and female—being held by the French Equatorial African government at the Brazzaville Zoo, directly across the Congo River from Leopoldville. Nick and Russell saw the baby gorillas for the first time on February 15, 1955. There was “no doubt in dad’s mind – at first sight we took them,” Nick wrote in his journal. As Russell and Marjorie flew back to the U.S., Nick spent the next few days attempting to learn more about the gorillas’ histories and personalities. He carried them around, so they would get used to his feel, his smell, and his voice. He named the male gorilla Nikumba for a village in the region where he was captured. The female was named Moka to honor the place of her birth. Understanding his incredible responsibility, Nick carefully chose the pair’s play toys and developed a firm feeding schedule for the gorillas. He bought baby bottles and learned how to mix infant formula. With Sabena Airline’s promise to fly the gorillas to America, Nick was ready to bring them home to the National Zoo. The press coverage of the gorillas’ arrival at the zoo on a cloudy and cold February 24, 1955, was extensive. Nick told friends, family and reporters that he captured the animals. “Strictly amateurs at the animal-trapping business, they did it ‘just for the fun of it,’” the paper quoted Nick as saying. An article later that week called the acquisition of the gorillas a “modern-day, mechanized safari.” Even the Smithsonian Institution’s Board of Regents’ 1955 Annual Report, in announcing the donation of the gorillas as the zoo’s

outstanding gift of the year, referred to the gorillas’ captures by the Arundel Expedition. A few months after the gorillas’ arrival in Washington, D.C., a newspaper article said Nick purchased the gorillas from natives. Nick’s own notes from his time in Africa did not mention spending time in the jungle or his capturing gorillas in the rainforest. When people asked for details about how he got the gorillas, he would simply tell them, “It’s a sad story.” It is unknown but unlikely that Nick actually captured the gorillas. Many of the reports from Nikumba and Moka’s life in Africa say the gorillas were captured separately, nine months apart; that they were not brother and sister; and that the Arundels paid the F.E.A. for the gorillas in order to donate them to the National Zoo. But in 1955, the story of a former Marine hunting gorillas in the African wilderness was a better tale to tell. It also was not as villainous then as it sounds now. Exploits of capturing big game on the mysterious and largely unexplored continent by non-natives could buoy a man’s social status and reputation. There were bragging rights and trophies of animal parts to show off. And although efforts to educate the world on the declining population of certain animals and the need for conservation were expanding, it was still believable that a tourist, particularly a former Marine, could capture a gorilla from the African jungle.

Finding love at Fox Den

Fox Den Antiques on Shirley Avenue celebrated its once-a-year open house on Saturday, July 28. In business for more than 30 years, the store drew familiar and new customers to not only browse the myriad of treasures but snack on appetizers and have a drink. The atmosphere was festive with lots of red and green as it was Christmas in July with discounts aplenty and early bargains. But, it was about to get even more jovial. One man, there with his girlfriend, had a mission in mind, one he had been planning for months with the help of store employees. Traveling from Front Royal, the couple had often visited Fauquier County as they enjoy exploring new places, particularly places with antique stores like Fox Den. They have found it to be rich in antiquing, great food and beautiful scenery. Andrew Oliva, an electrician, was about to light up his girlfriend’s life in a big way. Erica Brandon, who works for a software development company, had no idea Andrew had more on his agenda Saturday. The two had their first antiquing experience at Fox Den. One particular curio cabinet had caught Erica’s eye early in their explorations. Delicately carved, elegant and with several glass shelves, the piece was not initially for sale, to Erica’s great disappointment. What she didn’t know was that

FAUQUIER FOCUS Andrew had been negotiating with Wayne Sulser, one of the store employees, who owned the piece. The two strolled happily through the store, no doubt with Andrew navigating a large loop that would eventually bring them to the cashier area and the curio cabinet. As they came closer, Erica saw her favorite piece, now with a large “sold” sticker on the front. Erica was clearly disappointed; the piece she’d been swooning over for months was now out of reach. But her disappointment was quickly overtaken by delight as Andrew reached inside to pull out a card, which he handed to her. “What, how did you do this?” she squealed, “I can’t believe you did this.” The curio was now hers. But, there was more. On the top shelf was also a small box. Once again, Andrew reached inside and handed it to her. “What’s this?” he asked. The magic continued as the con-

tents revealed a diamond ring. More screams of delight and now tears as Andrew was on his knees. “Will you marry me?” “Yes, yes.” As the couple embraced and kissed, Wayne appeared with two large flutes of bubbly. Several in the store had gathered when they realized what was happening. It was a sweeter-than-syrup moment with the happy couple surrounded by smiling faces. Overwhelmed by the cabinet, a ring and proposal of marriage, Erica said through tears, “I am a lucky girl.” “Although we have known from the moment we met that we were going to spend our lives together, I was shocked that he had gone to such great lengths to orchestrate the proposal…and that I was about to be engaged to the man of my dreams in a place that is very dear to my heart,”

said Erica. “It was magical.” Humble and clearly pleased that his mission was a success, Andrew smiled saying, “Well, I had to do something special.” Their home is filled with beautiful treasures that they have discovered together. “We have the perfect spot for the engagement curio in the main entryway of our home,” said Erica. “The piece is exquisite and will be the very first thing you see when you walk in. The curio will be filled with treasures we find in our continued antiquing adventures, and eventually left to our children and grandchildren to carry on our love story.” Andrew and Erica are scheduled for a cruise in September. Word is that an island could be the perfect spot to tie the knot under the Caribbean sun. – Compiled by Anita Sherman

Forum, worship service mark tragic event

There has been much in the news about the upcoming first anniversary of the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, which sullied the name of the city and desecrated the historic Lawn of the University of Virginia on Aug. 12, 2017. While the rally organizers’ original plans for repeating the disgraceful event – either again in Charlottesville or Washington, D.C. – remain fluid, others are planning activities to counter the message of the emboldened racists and neo-Nazis. On Sunday, Aug. 12, Episcopal churches throughout the Diocese of Virginia will remember the victims of the attacks, and those still recovering. Locally, Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains will be hosting the Rev. Robert Wright Lee IV for a forum discussion to take place on Saturday, Aug. 11, as part of the Grace Speakers Series. It is notable that Lee is a descendant of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The forum, which is open to the public, begins at 5 p.m. in the church parish hall. An activist, college professor and author, Lee will share his perspective on racial reconciliation. “The aim of our speaker’s series is to bring important issues of the day and give folks the opportunity to reflect theologically on them,”

The Rev. Robert W. Lee said the Rev. E. Weston Mathews, rector of Grace Church. On Sunday, Aug. 12, Lee will preach the 10:30 a.m. service. A native of Statesville, North Carolina, the Rev. Lee is a graduate of Duke University School of Divinity, where he earned his master’s degree in theological studies in May 2017. Lee recently appeared on MTV at the Video Music Awards to speak against white supremacy and racism. He is currently working on a book focused on racial reconciliation entitled, “A Sin by Any Other Name,” due out in April 2019. The Foreword was written by the Rev. Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King and CEO of the King Center.

“This ought to produce many hundreds of watermelons.” A good yield will bring 1,0002,000 watermelons per acre. Tony Bratsch, extension specialist at Virginia Tech’s Department of Horticulture reports the “watermelon harvest is in full swing in the east and just starting for growers in the Southwest.” Many are available at local farmers markets now. “It almost goes without saying that the most labor-intensive aspect of growing melons is the harvest. Mechanical harvesters that pick only a ripe melon are not available,” Bratsch notes. “Only human eyes can make this judgment. Harvest aids, such as conveyors are available, which greatly speed-up the harvest process. It is important to plan ahead for the labor and time requirements of harvest. “ Now, at the peak of season, watermelons need to be picked daily. To grow your own organic seedless and seeded watermelons next year, be sure to buy seeds that have not been coated with fungicides. Colored seeds in red, green or blue have been treated with fungicides and should be avoided. It’s fairly easy to cultivate melons because they do not attract as many insects as other fruits. During the growing season, weeding a backyard organic garden by hand might be the only option. Soil can be amended with compost and organic animal manure. (Be sure you know what that animal has eaten or if it has been treated with antibiotics.) And then, sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor…as a specialty drink, sumptuous salad or a great big slice with you choice of salt.

Watermelon Salad

The wonderful combination of sweet and salty comes together in this refreshing summer salad for four people • 4 cups baby arugula • 2 cups cubed watermelon, seeds removed • 1/2 cup jicama cut into very thin julienne strips • 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pits removed and chopped Dressing (there will be extra) • 1/4 cup lemon juice and zest of 1 lemon • 3/4 cup good quality olive oil • Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper In a jar with a lid, combine the dressing ingredients and shake until well combined. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, watermelon, jicama, feta and olives. Pour a small amount of the dressing on the salad and toss gently. Adjust for salt and pepper and serve immediately From Emily Tyler- food columnist, Country Spirit Magazine

Mojito Watermelon slices

If you are lucky enough to find yellow watermelon, showcase wedges on a bed of mint with this simple lime syrup drizzled on top for four servings • 1 red or yellow watermelon cut into serving size wedges Lime Syrup: • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes) • Zest from 2 limes • 1/2 cup water • 1/2 cup sugar In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes. Take off the heat and add the lime juice and zest and cool. Drizzle over the watermelon wedges and reserve any leftover syrup in the refrigerator - it will keep for about a week. From Emily Tyler- food columnist, Country Spirit Magazine

Virginia tax-free weekend This is the weekend to shop for back-to-school bargains Virginia’s tax-free holiday weekend begins this Friday, Aug. 3 and ends on Sunday, Aug. 5. During these three days certain goods can be purchased tax-free, so make sure you know how to take advantage of the savings. So how much will shoppers save? The 5.3 percent general sales tax is waived throughout Virginia. Below are some of the items that will be tax-exempt for the shopping holiday: Clothing and footwear: Including coats and rain gear, school uniforms, diapers, and costumes. $100 or less per item. School supplies: Including art supplies, dictionaries and thesauruses, calculators, book bags, and musical instruments. $20 or less per item. Hurricane preparedness products: These items have various limits, depending on the product. This includes phone chargers and batteries priced $60 or less. Tax-free weekend offers great savings on hundreds of items, but not everything is exempt. For example, items such as handbags, jewelry, printers and sports equipment will not be exempt. While the tax exemption applies to all stores across the state, some stores will be busier than others. BlackFriday.com’s summer sales survey showed that Virginia shoppers are most likely to shop at the following stores this summer: • Walmart (43 percent) • Target (22 percent) • West Elm (22 percent) For more information on Virginia’s tax-free weekend and tips for how to make the most out of this holiday weekend, visit tax.virginia.gov/ virginia-sales-tax-holiday

BALLOTS, BALLOONS AND BUSINESS ….OH MY!! A general observation made by people who don’t live or work in Fauquier County is that there is nothing to do. Fauquier Times readers know better. For the last few weeks, hundreds of readers voted in the inaugural Fauquier Times Readers’ Choice Awards. Ballots were distributed in the newspaper and online. And now the votes are in. It’s certainly been an exciting undertaking for all of us. Almost overwhelming right from the beginning. That feeling you might have had when you first saw the ballot with all those categories. Seemingly endless as you plowed through. But the truth is, you can’t help but get caught up in the buzz and the strong feelings on who you think the best is- so plowed ahead you did. The series of promotional ads by our own internet sensation, Sawyer Guinn. Eyeing the participant numbers spike in the closing hours of voting. Watching as staff blew up balloons for delivery to the winners. And, of course, seeing the reactions of some of the winners and witnessing almost 200 people on the courthouse steps Monday morning, when the clouds broke for a few sunny moments and allowed us to get a monumental photo of our community. We’ve talked on our Editorial page of the role of a community newspaper: It shines a light on its residents. And what a warm and wonderful light to shine on the best our community has to offer. To provide a vehicle through which our readers could recognize the best of the best. It’s truly a special thing to be a part of. And, the result? When it comes to Fauquier County, our readers know this community has much to offer. When it comes to food and drink, for example, Fauquier has got you covered. Delicious Asian, Mexican and Italian restaurants. A top-notch bakery in Red Truck. Check out the best brunch at Claire’s, also the choice place to take a date and where you can also sample the best martini. Or if wine is more your style, head over to Barrel Oak, voted best winery, or to Galloping Grape, voted best wine store, to stock your cellar.

Fauquier readers have plenty of ideas for your entertainment, as well. Fancy an art gallery, festival, or museum? Perhaps you are looking for something athletic? A hike, round of golf, or even a skydiving adventure? Find it all in Fauquier. And when it comes to retail: Furniture, flowers, antiques, pets, cars, and of course, riding clothes and tack shop. Readers also have suggestions for services. Who better to ask when it comes to searching for a plumber, lawn care, roofer? Or a doctor or lawyer? And, of course, our furred and feathered friends. We thank our readers for taking time to fill out ballots, we know there were a lot of categories. And for their sense of humor, too, which maybe be why some of the n/a responses morphed into “dunno.” A few more fun responses included Saul Goodman for best lawyer and President Trump for best local TV personality. And when it came to best politician, a thought possibly echoed by many in these trying times: “Really? Are you kidding?” No! Our readers had choices for best local politician. And activist, blogger, and website, too. The inaugural Readers’ Choice awards are a testament to the fabric of the county. Pulling all of that together, though a labor of love, was a lot of work. But all of that represents just a fraction of the work each winner put into their business every day, providing a product and service so valued by their customers that they would take time out of their own busy schedules to fill out a ballot in hope of giving some recognition. We are proud to play a role in recognizing these fine businesses, but make no mistake, these awards are the choice of our readers. The people of Fauquier County. Congratulations. – Chris Six
